The sunroof feature has become hugely popular among buyers, and Mahindra will want to attract more buyers by offering this feature.
The 2021 Mahindra Scorpio will come with all-new design; however, the rugged boxy shape will remain intact. The front fascia has modern design elements, featuring signature Mahindra grille with vertical slats, twin-pod headlamps with integrated LED DRLs (Daytime Running Lamps), and flared wheel arches. The SUV has upright rear profile with a side-hinged tailgate. The outside rear view mirrors come with integrated blinkers. Other design highlights include roof rails, side steps and multi-spoke alloy wheels. It also gets the pull-type door handles.
The new Scorpio will come with all-new interior. The SUV looks significantly longer and wider than the current car, which should help Mahindra designers to create more space inside the cabin.

The SUV will continue to offer bench-type seat for the second row. The top-end variant will also receive front-facing third row of seats. As a reminder, the current Scorpio comes with side facing third row of seats.
The 2021 Mahindra Scorpio will be based on the modified version of the body-on-ladder frame. Called ZEN3 platform, this platform also underpins the new-gen Mahindra Thar. It will be powered by a new 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel engine, which is likely to offer around 158bhp of power. The SUV will also receive a 152bhp, 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that also powers the new Thar. Transmission options are likely to include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque convertor automatic.
